How to do a left handed cast on for knitting

Ever wonder how to master the art of left handed knitting cast-ons? Well, wonder no more with this knitting demonstration video! These knitting instructions are clear & easy to understand.

A friend of mine very kindly agreed to knit left handed for me to video for the website. Her hands are the knitting and purling videos that follow. Unfortunately I couldn't use the footage of her casting on and casting off so I have done my best to learn to do both myself. If the casting on and casting off videos look a little clumsy it's because I am a right handed knitter learning a new skill!

If you do decide to learn to knit left handed, it is vital to reverse pattern shapings and read the pattern charts from right to left rather than left to right.

Congratulations! You are know ready to finesse your left handed knitting skills. Pass this knitting tutorial video on to fellow left handed knitting buddies if you have found it helpful!
